Dear Daddy,
I had so much fun at Grandma Joann's house! We did lots of shopping, got ice cream, and she even let me have a tea party! Grandma let me wear some of her old party clothes. I wore a dark blue dress, with a pretty red sash, and big, white, floppy hat! Mommy took a picture and sent it to you.
Gibbs put down Kelly's letter and retrieved the one that Shannon had sent him. He smiled at the small picture that was tucked neatly into the folds of the letter. Kelly looked like she was having so much fun. God, his baby girl had grown up so much in the month he was gone. He sighed a little, and kept reading Kelly's letter.
We drank tea and ate these yummy snacks called scones. They were really good!
School starts in three weeks. I don't want to go back. Mommy said she'd take me for new school supplies though, so I guess it'll be okay. She said I could pick out whatever notebooks and folders I want!
My birthday is in one month! I'm really excited! Mommy told me not to tell you, but all I want for my birthday is for you to come home, Daddy. I really, really miss you! Please come home! I love you lots!
Love,
Kelly
